Is Microsoft Teasing GPT-5 Turbo With Copilot Pro Slip-Up? 'Oops' Moment Sparks Wild Speculation

Speculation is rife in the AI community following a possible hint by Microsoft Corp. MSFT at the introduction of GPT-5 Turbo in its Copilot Pro subscription. Microsoft is the biggest OpenAI investor and has integrated GPT technology into several of its products, such as Windows and Office.

What Happened: Microsoft’s new Copilot Pro subscription might have subtly suggested the introduction of GPT-5 Turbo. However, Mikhail Parakhin from the company has dismissed this speculation as a typographical error.

Speculation about the release of GPT-5 has been rampant, particularly after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted that GPT-5 would be “better at everything.” Despite this, neither Microsoft nor OpenAI have made any official announcements regarding GPT-5.

The supposed hint at GPT-5 Turbo was found in Microsoft’s Copilot Pro subscription, but Parakhin clarified that what was seen as GPT-5 was actually meant to be GPT-V, with ‘V’ standing for ‘Vision’, not the Roman numeral.

Despite the clarification, the typo has still not been corrected on Microsoft's website, fueling the ongoing speculation.

Why It Matters: The AI industry has been witnessing significant advancements, with companies like Anthropic introducing Claude 3 generative AI model that claim to outperform rivals like OpenAI's GPT-4.

Amidst this, the introduction of GPT-5 Turbo could potentially be a game-changer.

Earlier, OpenAI was reported to have accidentally leaked information about an upcoming version of its AI chatbot, GPT 4.5 Turbo, which could handle twice as many tokens as the current version, GPT-4 Turbo.
